Eagles were large, majestic birds of prey that were often seen as symbols of nobility[7] or as divine messengers.
Description[]
They were generally larger than other birds, with a powerful build and heavier head and beak. They possess broad wings allowing for faster flight. Eagles tended to be around 3 ft (0.91 m) long, with an average wingspan of 7 ft (2.1 m).[2]
Combat[]
Eagles hunted their prey from the sky using their enhanced vision, which enabled them to see small animals from great distances away. They captured food with their long and powerful talons.[2]
Species[]
Ecology[]
While eagles could inhabit a variety of terrains, they were more likely to dwell and build their nests on tall trees or high cliffs.[2]

Notes[]
- ↑ The 2nd edition alignment given in the original source is "Nil", which should be read as Neutral according to this Sage Advice answer by Skip Williams in Dragon Magazine Issue #155: "The nil alignment rating is a holdover from an early draft of the Monstrous Compendium material. Originally, a rating of nil indicated that a creature was not intelligent enough to have an alignment at all. However, the nil rating was dropped during rewriting and should have been replaced with the neutral alignment."
